Opis produktu
Jean A. Boyd is Professor of Music History at Baylor University in Waco Texas. She has researched and written on western swing since the early 1990s.The Light Crust Doughboys are one of the most longlived and musically versatile bands in America. Formed in the early 1930s under the sponsorship of Burrus Mill and Elevator Company of Fort Worth Texas with Bob Wills and Milton Brown (the originator of western swing) at the musical helm and future Texas governor W. Lee Pappy ODaniel as band manager and emcee the Doughboys are still going strong in the twentyfirst century. Arguably the quintessential Texas band the Doughboys have performed all the varieties of music that Texans love including folk and fiddle tunes cowboy songs gospel and hymns commercial country songs and popular ballads honkytonk ragtime and blues western swing and jazz minstrel songs movie hits and rock n roll./In this book Jean Boyd draws on the memories of Marvin Smokey Montgomery and other longtime band members and supporters to tell the Light Crust Doughboys story from the bands founding in 1931 through the year 2000. She follows the bands musical evolution and personnel over seven decades showing how band members and sponsors responded to changes in Texas culture and musical tastes during the Great Depression World War II and the postwar years. Boyd concludes that the Doughboys willingness to change with changing times and to try new sounds and fresh musical approaches is the source of their enduring vitality. Historical photographs of the band an annotated discography of their preWorld War II work and histories of some of the bands songs round out the volume./ul lPreface/l l1.
